I sigh as I scroll through the previous messages. I don't even try to think back to yesterday, not
yet ready to endure the striking pain that remembering will bring me. I would like to stay in
vegetable state for as long as possible. I sluggishly go to my calls and see the caller I.D. Turns out
David had called me, but it doesn't fill me with the same giddy emotion. Instead, its replaced
with a stronger one, and I'm not yet able to pin point what it is. I call him back and he picks up
on the third ring.
"Good morning." His deep voice brushes against my ear perfectly, but I'm not awake enough to
take notice.
"Good mornin." I slug.
"Did I wake you up?"
"Kinda."
"Oh alright, well its already 2 pm so I thought you'd be awake by now."
"I'm just really tired."
"I can tell. Did something happen?" I slightly frown when I hear those words through the receiver. Does he know something?
"No... I'm- I'm actually just having a hangover."
"You were drinking?" David says in a surprise tone.
"Yeah I went out yesterday."
"Do you need me to come over?" I swallow thickly as I place my other arm over my eyes. I don't
want him to come over right now, especially after what I found out yesterday. A sharp jab from
my headache causes me to wince after I try to remember what Coldren told me in detail. No,
too much pain, both mentally and physically. I'll just remember later.
"For what?" I answer a little too bluntly. He doesn't speak for a moment, probably a little thrown
off by my comment. I don't even have the strength to apologize.
"I don't know, thought you might need someone there."
"I'm fine. I just need sleep right now."
"Calvin... Ow! Diesel! Bad dog, out of the room now."
"Are you okay?" I say as I turn on my back.
"Yeah. Diesel has been kind of acting up lately. Like biting everything in sight, I'm going to ask Jasmine to take her to the vet tomorrow."
"Hopefully nothing's wrong with her."
"Me too." I feel my eyelids grow heavy as the sweet embrace of sleep was just one END CALL button away. However, to my disappointment, David kept on going.
"Calvin, why did you go drinking yesterday?" I scrunch my eyebrows.
"What do you mean?"
"Was it because of Friday? Because of me sending you away, I swear it was not personal."
I can't believe what just came out of his mouth right now. I swallow thickly, trying to submerge
the extreme anger bowling in my temples. IT WASN'T BECAUSE OF YOU, BUT I GUESS THE
WORLD ALWAYS REVOLVES AROUND YOU is what I wanted to say, but thankfully my headache
didn't make me that grumpy.

Romance"I'm the only one that can have you, you belong to me now." He pins my arms to the wall behind me while leaning in. I catch his scent, forest pine. My head feels dizzy as he bites my bottom lip. "But why? I-I'm not, I don't deserve-" "Shut up Calvi...
